Review on Polare Thick Full Grain Leather 16'' Laptop Attach Case: Business Travel Messenger Bag Briefcase for Men (fits 15.6'' Laptop) by Kobby Fairchild

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent bag. Get a lot for the price.

Have been looking for a bag for a possible re-entry for a long time. I don't like using my existing backpack style bags for work. Backpack style bags are definitely more secure and I would prefer them for travel but for everyday office work I prefer the messenger bag as it is much easier to put on and take off and looks much more professional in a work environment. Looking through the options, I stumbled upon polars again. I have 3 other products from them. and I'm fairly familiar with what to expect. You get a lot of bags for the price you pay. An equivalent saddle leather bag would cost 4-5 times more. And while I love the leather back of the saddle, I can't justify the price. And while there isn't a saddleback bag to compare before me, I believe they are still comparable. The fittings (buckles, zippers, etc.) are made of high-quality Polare and are designed for high loads. It's also a full-grain leather meant to last a lifetime. I was able to easily fit my 15.6 inch laptop in the laptop compartment along with the mouse/charger and Kindle. There is still enough space to easily fit another laptop. in the middle compartment There are also plenty of pockets for accessories such as pens, USB cables, headphones, important documents, etc. Surprisingly, the pocket is not as bulky as I thought. That was the only issue that bothered me and luckily it has resolved itself good looking upside down. I will tell you that the strap could probably use more padding. It doesn't bother me too much since I'm just walking in/out of the office, but it's not something I want to carry on my shoulders all day fully loaded. This is also my second Polare bag. The first was also very well made, which my wife noticed. She finally took them.
